And it appears she has every right to question whether her students are actually getting "the best." Because while she admits she liked the macaroni & cheese as well as the chili, the latter was not immediately identifiable to her fellow diners.

And that's not the only misunderstood dish Mrs. Q ran into. Alongside her "meatloaf" (which the teacher feels is better described as a "meat patty"), Mrs. Q was served a pile of green stuff. But exactly what it was, she wasn't certain. Broccoli? Spinach? Collard greens? She posted a photo so that readers could comment with their own ideas.

Finally, if you like the color yellow, then Day 43 is your jackpot. A cheeseburger, corn, peach fruit cup, and popcorn chips(?!). Yellow, yellow, and more yellow.

"Can you get over how everything is the same color?" Mrs. Q comments. "And then there's two corn-based sides..."

So just what does Mrs. Q hope to gain from all this?

"I'm eating school lunch just like the kids every day in 2010 to raise awareness about what students eat every day," she writes in a blog entry. "My hope is that the US becomes more reflective about how the food children eat affects their well-being and success in school."
